Effective midnight Sunday, May 6, the retail prices of gasoline, diesel and kerosene will increase while the price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) will fall.

The new retail price of gasoline will be $3.40 per litre, up from $3.31. The price of diesel will move from $2.60 per litre to $2.61, while the price of kerosene will be $1.46 per litre, up from $1.36. These represent increases of nine cents, one cent and ten cents per litre, respectively.

The retail prices of LPG will be adjusted from $169.88 to $162.39 per 100 lb cylinder, a decrease of $7.49; from $47.57 to $45.70 per 25 lb cylinder, a decrease of $1.87; from $42.03 to $40.38 per 22 lb cylinder, a decrease of $1.65; and from $38.21 per 20 lb cylinder to $36.71, a decrease of $1.50.

The adjustments in the retail prices of these products are in keeping with Government’s policy to allow retail oil prices to be reflective of those on the international market.

The constant price hikes we have experienced in Barbados are not in line with price increases or decreases on the world market.
You are either a very gullible yardfowl who do no research of your own, or one who knows better but perpetuates the trickery of those in office.

welcome to the club @ the north pole the gas prices is going through roof .so don’t feel two bad @ the south pole. my friends in the U S OF A .is also feeling the pain . i just want y’all to know it’s not BIM alone .and it’s spring time now could u imagine when the summer rolls around we might have to catch the bus or ride to work .i want take a chance walking .we’re crying out loud up here .and we have just as much oil as the middle east or more

Atman sir get a grip.
I live in a country that produces, refines and exports oil and we are 4 cents per liter off the high price for this century. Why do you think Barbados would ever skate by when Barbados only consumes oil. ( 5 pints a day from BNOC big deal ) It is not unreasonable to expect that as the world market price decreases that the price at the pump would return to the previous level however that just has not happened anywhere in the last few years as oil prices declined. To use your logic, it’s the Barbados government that inflicted this burden worldwide.
